James Suckling
"A rich, concentrated and fresh 1st growth!
"Very expressive nose of lime zest and a whole garden of fresh herbs. Wonderful interplay of richness and concentration with the freshness of wet stone. What a beautiful finish, where ripeness and minerality skilfully complement each other! It makes you want to come back and taste this excellent Chablis 1er Cru. Drink it or keep it.
